Starting next season, the NASL is making a radical change to its schedule and competition
format, one along the lines of something that some have been calling for MLS to adopt as its
own.
NASL announced Wednesday that in 2013, as opposed to the current format in which the regular
season is followed by a typical playoff set-up, the league will be played in a split-season,
Apertura-Clausura style.
First episode with a new recording format and we're still working out the kinks. In this episode
Luke and Pedro look back at the mid-week matches in both MLS and Champion's League. Right back
tactics, DC United's roster and what's wrong with the Vancouver Whitecaps? Chris Billig of
Gay4Soccer.
In regards to U.S. professional Soccer development, from recognition to acceptance, Beckham is
Pelé's equal.
If David Beckham never made another goal in MLS, it wouldn't matter. He has surpassed expectations.
His mission is accomplished.
While it would be horrible and a hard pill to swallow if Beckham was to get hurt and not be able to
play again or play to his same abilities(knock on wood), his contribution to boost the MLS profile
and pro Soccer in the U.
In 2007 Atletico Madrid sold Fernando Torres to Liverpool, who had a great season there. In 2011
Torres signed for Chelsea, where he mostly has been complaining. Today Torres was facing his old
club in the final of the UEFA Super Cup. As winners of the Champions League Chelsea were probably
slight favourites, and Fernando Torres is set to take over the role of goalscorer from Didier
Drogba.
New Liverpool boss has come-out and said that he doesn't want to lose star defender Daniel
Agger.
With wide-spread media reports that the Danish defender is about to join money-kings Man City for
£ 23 million, it would be a major disapointment if the great Dane left Liverpool.
It seems as if FSG are willing to sanction the move which would give new boss Brendan Rodgers the
cash to buy Grodin and, possibly Andy Johnson, who has failed to make an impact at City.
Barcelona's Dutch midfielder Ibrahim Afellay will be playing at the Emirates this season, but only
when the Gunners host the German club Schalke 04 in the champion's league. Reports claimed earlier
this week that the Dutch international was going to leave Barcelona on a year long loan deal, with
Arsenal and Tottenham two of the [.
Arsenal were placed in group B for this season's Champion's league. The team from pot two chosen
for Arsenal's group was Schalke 04 from Gelsenkirchen in Germany. They finished third in the
Bundesliga last season behind Borussie Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The team from pot three was
Olymiacos from Piraeus in Greece.
After a grand total of one competitive appearance for the Gunners, against Olympiakos in the
champion's league in 2009, Kyle Bartley has decided to call an end to his Arsenal career. I am not
really being fair to the lad, he was desperate to play for Arsenal but never quite managed to force
himself in [.
The LA Galaxy will take on reigning Salvadoran champion Isidro Metapan on Thursday night at the
Home Depot Center in their opening CONCACAF Champions League game of this campaign.
After a weekend off, the team is recharged, refocused and ready to tackle the next ten days.
Today starts a rather historic week for the Seattle Sounders. Win or lose, they become just the
second team to even play for a fourth straight U.S. Open Cup title and could become the first to
win four straight.
Winning four straight domestic titles is something no team in England, France, Germany or Italy
has ever done.
The Spanish Super Cup is fast approaching and Gerard Piqué says:
"I think that winning the Super Cup would give us confidence. It's a special game against a
special opponent and I'm sure it would give us a lot of confidence for the start of the new season,
but I don't see it as something crucial.
A pair of teams featuring Americans will look to take a step closer to the group stage of the
UEFA Champions League, as RSC Anderlecht (Sacha Kljestan) and Hapoel Kiryat Shmona (Bryan
Gerzicich) look to earn favorable road results in the opening legs of their respective final
qualifying-round ties.
New Netherlands coach Louis van Gaal has admitted that he was attracted by the opportunity to work
in the Premier League with Liverpool.
The 61-year-old was linked with both the manager's job and a role as sporting director at Anfield
following the dismissal of Kenny Dalglish, but Brendan Rodgers was eventually appointed.
A team making the group stage of the 2012-13 UEFA Champions League will receive a minimum of €8.6
million before collecting their share of marketing money, European soccer's governing body
announced on Friday. A group stage win is worth €1m with €500k for a draw. Advancing to the
knockout stage earns a team a €3.

Chelsea has been up and down over the last few years. In 2011 Carlo Ancelotti was fired as the club "only" made it to second place in the Premier League (the previous year he had led them to their first "Double"). For the start of the 2011-12 season Andre Villas-Boas became manager, and under him team performance dipped with a string of defeats.
Anything can happen in football, but money often is victorious. After 19 years Paris St. Germain again won the French League title after a 1-0 victory over Olympique Lyon (a team that dominated French football with seven league titles in a row until 2008). In 2012 the Qatar Investment Authority bought the stock majority in Paris St.
I usually find myself in cool places around the world to watch the FA Cup finals, but this year I found myself in an airplane, and was thus unable to watch a surprising final where Wigan Athletics won a surprising 1-0 victory over Manchester City. Wigan are fighting relegation from the Premier League and this victory is their first FA title ever!
With a 1-0 victory over Palermo Juventus won their second Italian Serie A title in a row. In spite of Napoli defeating Inter Milan 3-1, the runner-ups cannot catch up with Juventus. Great for Juventus, who are cementing their place back at the top of the Italian league after their disgraceful season in the lower Serie B league following the "Calciopoli" match fixing scandal.
I have not been able to watch Brøndby play the entire season, so it was perhaps in place that the match I watched was against the arch-rivals FC Copenhagen, in the match that could make the latter champions. 0-0 was enough to make the Copenhagen team champions with three rounds to go. Deservedly. In spite of the fact that I have not seen them play this season it was obvious that in spite of the
The USSF Division 2 league will move to two double round robin tournaments with about a one
month break in mid-Summer. The release seems to indicate that the only Playoffs will be between the
champion of the two half seasons.
The Captain, Captain Morgan gets footy/soccer fans from all over the world to Party Like A
Champion in this brilliant advert for the Captain's Whiskey which features a the music and should
very well be a popular anthem around the world.
When it comes to legendary partying, Captain Morgan always leads from the front.
Olympic 100m champion and avid Manchester Unite fan Usain Bolt has revealed his desire to play
for Manchester United not just because he's the fastest man on the planet but because he also has
the skills to become a pro.He said:
"People think I am joking. But if Alex Ferguson called me up and said, ‘OK let's do this, come
and have a trial', it would be impossible for me to say No.
In their first season in existence, the Sounders U23s won the toughest division in the PDL, won
their first ever playoff match, and defeated 2009 PDL Champion Ventura County Fusion in the
conference finals. That took them to the national semifinals yesterday in London, Ontario, where
they faced Forest City London, who are on a bit of a cinderella run with the fewest regular season
points of any playoff team.
Recordando los juegos olímpicos de Beijing 2008, nos encontramos con el cubano Angel
Valodia Matos que se volvio loco y al terminar su enfrentamiento le dio patada al referee
por descalificarlo, pero le costo caro, por que los jueces del certmamen lo han dejado fuera de
cualquier competición de Tae Kwon Do de por vida.
Last Wednesday Bradley Wiggins' big yellow Tour de France victory parade passed near to a town
synonymous with its greatest ever champion – Mourenx, site of the coming of age of the
indomitable Belgian, Eddy Merckx. From the moment his breakaway victory there on the 17th stage
of the 1969 Tour, people spoke in hushed tones about Merckx's achievement.
Technically, Saturday night's match between the Madison 56ers and the Milwaukee Bavarians at
Breese Stevens Field is a regular-season match.
But in reality, it's a playoff game.
Amilcar Herrera (Milwaukee Riverside/Marquette) scored in the opening 25
minutes as the Bavarians got past the visiting 56ers 1-0 on Wednesday night in Glendale, leaving
the teams tied atop the National Premier Soccer League Midwest Region Central Conference standings
heading into Saturday's season finale.
Juan Roman Riquelme always said he would like to retire in a Boca Juniors jersey, but last
night's 3-1 aggregate defeat in the Copa Libertadores final against Brazilian side Corinthians was
surely not the way he wanted to go.
Shortly after Boca's ouster, the 34-year-old attacking midfielder and former Argentine
international informed gathered reporters of his decision to leave the club effective
immediately.
